But separate them:
A complete waste of time and space. Highly unnecessary.
Update available…
Server update?
Am I the only one who noticed that this time Battle Pass started today after reset with Percival’s Chips and 25 tiers??
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
STILL CAN’T BELIEVE CRUELLA’S FINALLY IN THE GAME AFTER ALL THESE YEARS 
I’m so happy 
She looks very elegant, rightfully so! If only she had her signature smoke holder, that’d really cinch her design, green smoke and all. Too bad Disney’s been trying to sanitize the image of a fur obsessed, would-be-dog killer woman, since the live action remake with Emma Stone 
quite ridiculous, but eh, I’m over it
I never thought about Scare being part of her kit (least, I"m pretty sure it wasn’t one of the concepts I had a while ago), but it’s supremely fitting! 
especially since she’s terrorized and scared so many generations of children since her inception (especially with Glenn Close’s portrayal of her in the live action 90s movies - her cackling in the first one still gives me goosebumps to this day 
And Cruella’s cackling from the beginning of the movie after she roasts Roger and his songwriting 
cherry on top! Actually, I’m really in love with how a lot of her kit draws from the first portion of the movie she appeared in! The aforementioned cackling, her reveling in her fur coat, and of course, writing a check (which seems like it took inspiration from the Sorcerer’s Arena version of Cruella, who was able to instaKO enemies when she wrote a check 
)
And can we just talk about her Blue skill for a moment? This is the first time we’ve had an echo ability like that, specifically Dr. Facilier’s own Blue Skill (Shadow Snake?), in which they can reuse the skill instantly if it KOs an enemy - very dastardly for Cruella, since she has supplemental Scares, and certainly much more refreshing than yet another character having a Green skill that has them yelling and Silencing enemies we’ve already got about four or five of them at this rate
I recognize her pose in the Purple skill icon from the animated sequel movie when she bails Horace and Jasper out of jail!!! Enemies being constantly Scared while Cruella’s nearby really does her character justice
While I am disappointed by the fact that her iconic mad driving skills are nowhere to be seen, or her car, or why Jasper and Horace are strangely unnamed in the descriptions (when similar characters, like Mother Gothel with the Stabbington Brothers, have them named), I am overall very happy with her skillset, especially since A, Cruella negates buffs in her White skill like in the concept I had for her all the way back in 2019 (I was still star struck when that concept was used for Colette!!!) 
, and B, her writing a check definitely reminds me of the gif I used in my concept when she was trying to write the check, but the blasted ink pen wouldn’t work
I just cannot get over how 
fabulous Cruella looks in her Red Skill 
I’m gonna have a dastardly time using her to wreck Eda teams
I just hope her Quote is fitting 
Cruella for sure is going to synergize well with Mike Wazowski (his Red Skill makes it so that currently Scared enemies who get Scared again take 50% of their HP as damage - or well, something to that effect), and other Scarers. Oogie Boogie’s Randall Disk would certainly help with Slowing Scared enemies down, not to mention his Purple, which reduces the damage done by Scared enemies by 85%.
I just hope her “aura” is big enough to Scare many enemies, like Kuzco’s Sap with his “groove aura” (ooh, just realized she took inspo from Kuzco too!!!)
As for her Friendships, I am a little disappointed it wasn’t with one of the other fashionable women of the City, like Yzma, who’s just as skeletal as Cruella herself, but at least they are very fitting for Cruella’s character:
Cruella teamed up with two different poachers in the live action 90s movies to help capture the Dalmatian puppies, so it makes sense that she’d be buddy-buddy with Percival, who, like those poachers from the 90s movies, have no qualms about fulfilling orders for illegal oddities and rarities.
Shere Khan is a tiger, an animal who is unfortunately often targeted by poachers for their pelts because of “exotica,” so it makes sense for Cruella to have a “Friendship,” with Shere Khan, since she did, unfortunately, succeed in capturing and skinning a rare, protected, albino tiger in the first live action 90s movie, turning it into a rug
* In this case, it'd probably be the DHBM trope of Party A chases after Party B (usually a villain with a hero, like with Pete capturing Minnie, sometimes a villain teaming up with another villain, like with Maleficent and Ursula sparing Vanellope and Violet after the heroes saved them from Creeps) eventually Creeps descend and they're forced to work together, in which case, Party A relents in their pursuit of Party B... for now.
I just really hope Cruella’s dramatic flair comes through in their Friendships, because I was severely disappointed with Shere Khan’s Friendship with Bagheera, and Percival’s Friendship with Captain Hook was the biggest nothing burger I’ve come across 
At least with Shere Khan, the story made sense contextually when compared to their movie, with the themes of working together and doubled edged nature of Man - Percival and Captain Hook’s story was just a drawn out conversation that went nowhere - there was absolutely no sense of progression, and it didn’t even have a satisfying conclusion - it felt like there was more to the story, but there wasn’t.
Oh well, while I’m on the subject, I’m looking forward to seeing how the Jungle Book cast gets rebalanced - hopefully Baloo’s Disk from Simba and Nala gets some of those defensive buffs boosted again lol
Oh! And I’m looking forward to seeing the Video Crates get improved 
This is the part where I would also express my displeasure over new Hero Chips being only in Ranked Contests, but that was already there circa 2019-2021, so I’m over it 
not the first time this has happened, nor the last, I’d imagine. I’d also express my displeasure over the possibility of making new Heroes’ Friendships harder to complete since Cruella’s is with two other heroes who still don’t have reliable sources of farming their chips, but I have a truckload of Memory Tokens I haven’t spent in a long time from War, so at least for me, I’m locked and ready to go for Cruella’s Disks 
You’re not the only one
It seems to be that way with most new friendships as of late.
Take Shere Khan and Scar from example. They could have had a rivalry between each other considering that the tiger is the king of the jungle in Asian culture. But no, it just a drawn out discussion that went absolutely nowhere.
Doofenshmirtz’s friendships were… questionable to say the least. They didn’t quite get his personality right. In the series prior, he is presented as a petty, but cordial and bumbling, scientist who did what did out of obligation to his God awful childhood.
And McLeach’s were just… boring.
@TheGrillFather I‘m sorry if I seem annoying with this question, but why are the first shards for Cruella available for non-Premium owners only at Milestone 11?
And at the same time, the new challenge that REQUIRES you to have her unlocked is live for only 9 days? Even by doing some lighthearted estimates, this will be extremely close for most. And that‘s not even considering the challenge stopping one day earlier depending on what time zone you live in.
Are you sure it wouldn‘t have been fairer to give the first shards away at, say, Milestone 3, 4 or 5 instead? I could be wrong, of course, but I could have sworn McLeach was available earlier than that, too …
Oh my goodness! Cruella De Vil is here!
the trial isn’t new, it was just hidden previously until you bought a certain deal - so nothing has changed, it’s just now that everyone can see it, they can make a more informed decision about whether to spend their money. It was never designed for or even available as a freebie 
What about Olaf friendship disk with Félix?. Can’t pass second part . One of the enemies never die
Another problem. The app shows as I already received the first reward of battle pass (that I both this morning), but I have Cruella unavailable yet. Should be available since the first reward is 88 Cruella’ chips
I know. I both it
Would Hocus Pocus get some bug fixes for that next round of rebalancing too?
It’s almost been 2 hours or more and the update hasn’t been finished yet. Then again, nothing is done immediately.
